Owl Punch card

2011-05-23T09:55:00.004+10:00

I recently did a workshop using the owl punch. I have always been a little taken with our punches and so was very excited to use the new owl punch.

This card uses four different punches (as I said I am just a little taken with using the punches! LOL!), the 1" circle punch, the modern label, the decorative label (in the Winter Mini) and the Owl Punch.

I used the circle punch in two ways - firstly the punched out circle was used as a mask for the moon as I coloured the night sky and then the scrap sheet that the circle was punched from was used as a mask to cover the sky so that I could colour the moon with frost white shimmer paint.

The card stock used is - Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Ink colours - Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Stamp Sets - Cottage Garden, Thanks for Caring
Accessories - Shimmer Paint (Frost White)

Shaving Cream Technique

2011-05-03T23:05:00.005+10:00

Hi Everyone, i have been meaning to post this card for ages.

I did this card for a workshop a while ago and everyone loved making it (although it was an extremely messy experience!!). We used the Shaving Cream technique which involves shaving cream and re-inkers. A little tricky but well worth the effort I believe.

The stamp sets used are Pocket Silhouettes and Curvy Verses.

Let me know what you think...

I'm Back!!!

2010-09-25T20:35:00.004+10:00

Ok so after much teasing from friends I have decided to come back to blogging!! I know, I know, you have all missed me soooo very much!! LOL!!

I have been very busy making things and I will attempt to do at least a post a week. I can only hope that I can keep going!!

So the first card I am going to post is a swap that I made for the Brisbane Regional Seminar that I attended recently. It was great to get together with other demos and exchange ideas.

The technique used is called Crayon Resist and it works best when done on Gloss Card stock. I stamped the image with Staz On ink and then using a white crayon marked on the card where I wanted the white to stay and then using sponge daubers went over the image with Melon Mambo ink and then filled in the blank areas with So Saffron ink.

If you have any questions about Crayon Resist or would like to book a workshop to see this technique demonstrated please email me.

Stamps - Cottage Garden, Sincere Salutations
Card - Glossy White, Melon Mambo, So Saffron
Ink - Staz On, Melon Mambo, So Saffron

Sorry!!

2009-07-02T13:54:00.005+10:00

Ok ok ok ... I know I have been a really slack blogger and I have made heaps of cards to post but just never seem to get around to uploading them. So today I will show you two cards that I made a while ago.

The first one is a male card. I don't do a lot a male cards so I find them a little hard and tend to take a lot of time when I do make one.

I love the occasionally set as they are the perfect size for so many of our tag punches. I will hopefully have some more male cards with some of the new stamps from the Spring mini soon

Stamps used: Totally Tool, Occasionally
Card: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa

The second card is a card that I guess could be used for either male or female. I forget to use SU! double sided paper on cards so with this one I thought I would have a play with some of the new papers.

I have also had a play with the scallop square punch. Anyone who knows me, knows I looovvvveeee my punches!!! They are so easy to use and make layering so quick and fun.

Stamps used: Pocket Silhouettes, Say It with Scallops
Card: Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango
DSP: Haiku
Old Olive Ribbon

Australiasian Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo

2009-06-09T16:20:00.003+10:00

For the last 3 days I have been at the Craft Expo and WOW what an experience!!! It was so busy and exciting!! I met some absolutely fantastic people and had so much fun.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Kim, our fearless team leader. Without all her effort and hard work it probably would not have been the success it was. She rocks!!

So I will post a photo of our group now and when I get a chance I will post some more photos of our stall.

In the photo is Me, Chrissie, Jenny and Kim. Brenda was on the stall on Sunday and Monday so isn't in the photo. I just love how we all have the same uniform. I looked really good.

More soon

Sorry for not posting sooner...

2009-05-13T12:07:00.004+10:00

I had a whole heap of items to post and then on Mother's Day my camera was stolen and now I have to try and take photos again. So sorry for the delay - hope it won't take too long!!

Mother's Day

2009-05-06T22:59:00.005+10:00

We had a Mother's Day stall at school today and I donated some little notebooks and pens for sale.

I used some Blue Paper that had quite a rough texture and was covered in glitter. I ran it through the Cuttlebug. The top layer is Whisper White. I stamped it with one of the plant stamps from the Pocket Silhouettes set using Tempting Turquoise ink. I punched the border with our new Eyelet Border Punch. I tied some gold cord around the base of the plant. The bag tag was stamped using the Occasionally set and Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise ink

They must have been a hit because when my son went up to the stall they were all gone.

I hope all the Mum's out there have a great Mother's Day!!

Perfect Plum

2009-05-03T00:35:00.004+10:00

I decided to play around with some stamp sets that I haven't used for a while and I came across "Heartfelt Thanks". This stamp set came in my starter kit 2 years ago so I haven't used it for a long time.

So with this card I used Perfect Plum as the base, I stamped the outline flower with Perfect Plum ink. I layered Pale Plum card on that then stamped the base flower on Whisper White. I used Markers to colour the stamp so that I could use the two colours on the flower and stem. Using my Stamp-a-majic I lined up the outline flower stamp and using markers again I stamped the outline on Vellum. The ribbon is Purple organza. It was nice to grab an old stamp set out and have a play. Using the Vellum over the white card softened the colour of the flower petals and I think gives it a more subdued effect.

More soon....

Thank You cards

2009-04-24T21:30:00.003+10:00

I made some Thank You cards for my customers recently using the new stamp set "Sweet Stems". I punched out the "thanks so much" with the word window punch. I stamped the background of the Very Vanilla card with the Boho Backgrounds stamp and Pink Pirouette ink. Layered with Pink Pirouette card. It is a simple card but so far the reaction has been positive.

The second card is using the "One of a Kind" stamp set. I am so glad this set made it into the new catalogue. I love the patterns and the fact that there is a matching punch. I love my punches!!! The colours used are Taken with Teal and Apricot Appeal. The flower is coloured with our Markers in the same colours as the card stock.

Tunnel Card

2009-04-24T13:23:00.006+10:00

I downloaded a whole heap of techniques from the Splitcoast Stampers website and thought I might start trying them out.

This card is called a Tunnel Card and I have used the same colours as they used in the example but changed the stamp set to the Level 1 Hostess set - Organic Grace. I really love the flower in this set.

I used Riding Hood Red on the front of the card and used the Scallop circle and 1 3/8" circle punches on the card front. This was a really fun card to make and I love the end result. It does look better IRL but hopefully you can get the idea

Fresh Cuts card

2009-04-10T22:19:00.010+10:00

I did a workshop with some lovely ladies the other day and we made this card with the new Fresh Cuts stamp set. I also used the new In Colours - Riding Hood Red and Pacific Point. I used the 1 3/8" square punch on both colours and then the 1 1/4" square punch on the Pacific Point. I stamped the "For You" using Pacific Point and then punched it with a 1" square punch.

I am looking forward to making some cards with this stamp set and the Fresh Cut cards. I have seen the examples in the new catalogue and think they look great

I also made some small love notes to demo a couple of techniques.

The first one is showing watercolouring on our watercolour paper using Riding Hood Red ink and I stamped the background leaves with Kiwi Kiss. And of course, I then finished it with Kindy Glitz. The stamp set is Embrace Life.

The second one is showing the Poppin' Pastels technique. I stamped with Versamark then sponged Real Red and Regal Rose over the petals. I used Pumpkin Pie in the centre of the flower. Then I Kindy Glitzed the centre of the flower. I stamped the small flower on the Baja Breeze card using Baja Breeze ink and then stamped on the Pink Pirouhette card using Pink Pirouhette ink. The stamp set is Eastern Blooms.

Hopefully I will have some more cards soon.

New Catalogue

2009-04-01T22:45:00.003+10:00

Well the new catalogue is here and I just love it!!! This year we have so many new and exciting stamps, colours and accessories. The new punches are fantastic!!

Happy Birthday Card

2009-03-29T19:41:00.003+10:00

So I was at our team meeting today and was hassled about the fact that I am a really slack blogger so in an attempt to appease my fellow team mates I have decided to post a card that I gave to my son's teacher for her Birthday which is today. So Happy Birthday Gaby!!!

The card was made using the Big Bold Birthday set. I stamped the bottom half of the cupcake with Taken With Teal and the top half with Rose Red. I layered the card using Very Vanilla, Rose Red DSP and Taken with Teal. Using Staz On ink I stamped the Happy Birthday on the Very Vanilla ribbon.

Its a simple card but sometimes they can be the nicest. I have recently fallen in love with Taken with Teal but after using the new In Colour Pacific Point today I think that will be my all time favourite colour!!!! It is so deep but bright at the same time - LOVE IT!!!!

All right so now that I have the first card up I will attempt to put some more things up. Hopefully I can be a better blogger!!!

Where Have I Been?????

2009-03-01T20:40:00.004+10:00

Hi there,
I know I have been a very slack blogger but it has been extremely busy in our household with getting back to school and then helping out at school and just life I guess but I am now back on track. So my sincere apologies for the slackness.

this is the gift card holder I gave my husband for Christmas.

I used Close To Cocoa CS and Very Vanilla. At first he thought it was an actual wallet which was nice

I will post some more soon!!

Merry Christmas

2008-12-24T21:33:00.002+10:00

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

Looking forward to sharing more creations with everyone in the New Year.

Regards
Vanessa

End of Year!!!!

2008-12-06T11:58:00.010+10:00

Well it is official. School holidays have started in our house and the fun has begun!!!

We had our End of Year Concert at school and I have to say Josh looked very cute up on stage. Unfortunately the photos didn't turn out too well. Maybe next year...

I did get photos of the presents I made for the teachers. It is very hard to know what to get teachers so I thought I would make something personalised. I hope they liked them. After a friend of mine told me how the teachers at her school complained about receiving handmade things I nearly didn't do them but went ahead anyway. They both seemed to really like them so I am happy.

I made these from MDF coasters. I covered the inside of the coasters in paper. The outside is covered with Brocade Blue card and then stamped the swirl from the Priceless stamp set all over and then embellished it with the butterfly stamp from the same stamp set. I used the Crop-a-dile to punch the holes for the rings and then put ribbon on the rings to decorate. I downloaded the calendar from SCS.

As Josh has two teachers this year I made two versions. This one was made using Wild Wasabi card and the new Eastern Blooms stamp set from the Summer Mini.

I also made one for the Teacher's Aide but ran out of time and didn't take a photo.

Thanks Susan!!

2008-12-05T11:42:00.003+10:00

More Christmas Cards

2008-11-26T20:41:00.004+10:00

So I have been extremely busy reorganising my craft area now that I have had the window added. I will post some photos soon. It has been so wonderful having so much space and light.

I have done another couple of cards.

The first one is made using the Solemn Stillness and many Merry Messages stamp sets.
The card used is Purely Pomegranate and Whisper White. I also used Holiday Harmony DSP. The ribbon is the Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon.

The second card is using the Season Of Joy stamp set.
Again I used the Purely Pomegranate (I love this colour!!!) and whisper white card. The ribbon is a double layer of Burghundy and Gold. I used Crystal Effects on the top flower and a gold brad.

My son is so excited he has now asked me to make cards for his entire class!!! I think I will make little Love Note cards for them and will post them when I am done.

Christmas Cards

2008-11-08T19:13:00.004+10:00

Well I have managed to make a couple of Christmas cards so far but will hopefully have heaps more done by the end of the weekend.

The first one is using the Crazy for Christmas stamp set. I love these trees. They are so cute. I coloured them in using the Stampin' Pastels and Blender Pens.

The cardstock used: Confetti White, Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou and Whisper White

I mixed some of the Dazzling Diamonds glitter in with clear Emboss Powder and stamped a snowflake all over the Confetti card using Versamark and then stamped the greeting (from Many Merry Messages set) using Purely Pomegranate ink and then used Blue Bayou double stitched ribbon to finish it off...

I will have to scan the second card and then I will post it.

World Teacher's Day

2008-11-08T18:56:00.003+10:00

I know I am posting this a bit late but Friday week ago (31st October) was World Teachers Day. So I made these Mini Pizza Boxes filled with homemade Caramel Fudge. I saw the idea for the mini pizza boxes on Splitcoast Stampers and thought they were a fantastic gift idea. I believe the original design came from Jen del Muro (I don't have a link for her sorry!!)

Since Josh has two teachers I made two boxes and put their initial on it. They just loved them.

The box was made using Pixie Pink card and I stamped the box with one of the Boho Background stamps using Pixie Pink ink. I then made a band using Close to Cocoa card and pink ribbon. To do the monogram I punched Mellow Moss with the Scallop punch and Pixie Pink with the circle punch.

Another Birthday Card

2008-10-14T09:14:00.003+10:00

It was my best friends Birthday last week (Happy Birthday Liz!!!) and I made this card for her. We have been friends for longer than I care to mention (it will show my age!!) and every year I seem to forget to make a card - so this year I thought I would make that extra effort.

So I made this card using the Priceless stamp set (I just can't stop using this set at the moment). I stamped the butterfly using Brocade Blue ink on same coloured card then added some glue and dazzling diamond glitter. I punched them out using the 1 1/4" square punch. The base of the card is Rose Red and I used some So Saffron DSP that I had lying around.

Birthday Present

2008-10-07T14:17:00.004+10:00

It was my Mum's Birthday recently (Happy Birthday Mum!!) and I gave her some 8x8 albums of photos of her with the boys. I decided that I should be a little bit creative and make the box to put them in and then Mum would have something to store the albums in. So...

This box was made using 2 pieces of 12x12 cardstock. I used Vintage Violet for the lid and Buckaroo Blue for the base (these colours are both retired but are some of my Mum's favourite colours). Before assembling the box I stamped the swirl from the Priceless stamp set all of the Vintage Violet piece using Versamark then embossed with Silver EP. I then tied it with silver cord. It looks so much better IRL. After I made the box I then made the Birthday card and decided to keep with the same theme and use the same colours and this is the result.

Again I used th Priceless stamp set and als It's your Birthday. I embossed the heart and butterfly with Silver EP and stamped the Happy Birthday in Vintage Violet.

It was so nice to totally co-ordinate the wrapping and card and I know Mum loved it as well.

Work Area

2008-09-27T13:19:00.003+10:00

I know I promised to post photos of my new work area a while ago but it has been a bit messy!! I have finally tidied up (a little bit) so thought while it is in this state I will post them now. It is a pretty small area but it is so nice to have everything organised and have my own space to go into and do some work. The boys have started to come in and want to work with me so I have set a desk for them as well. I just need to install an air conditioner for summer as it gets a bit hot!!

The boys have gone camping this weekend. Woohoo!!!! So I have an entire weekend to craft. I am extremely excited and will hopefully have a heap of items to post.

Faux Tearing Card

2008-09-14T19:05:00.002+10:00

I know, I know, 2 posts in 2 days!!!!! There must be something wrong with me!!!!! Don't worry I don't know if I will stay whis focused for long! LOL!!

I had another great workshop today. We had so much fun. I don't know how anyone could say this is work!!

We made the above card using the faux tearing technique. This is made by ripping a scrap piece of paper and then brayering over cardstock to make it look like you have used a second layer of card. The stamp sets used are Sanded, Priceless and It's your Birthday.

I used Whisper White, Brocade Blue and Pretty in Pink inks and Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink card.

Hope everyone has had a fun filled weekend and I will hopefully post more creations soon

Happiness Card

2008-09-13T18:15:00.002+10:00

I did a workshop today with some lovely ladies and had so much fun. We made the above card using the Happiness background stamp and it was coloured with Stampin' Pastels. The card stock used is Pretty in Pink, Rose Red and Whisper White. We added dimension by applying Crystal Effects on the diamonds and the "Happiness".

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

New Work Space

2008-09-09T23:55:00.003+10:00

I am finally in my new workspace and as soon as I can I will post some photos. It is just great having everything in the one spot and to have a larger area to work in.

I have been a bit slack in the card making department but I did make this one recently. I used a Level 1 hostess set (A Little Bit Of Happiness) and coloured it with various SU! markers, I also used Sanded and one of last years hostess sets for the "Thinking of You". Card stock used is Bashful Blue, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum and Whisper White.

Pocket Card

2008-08-11T09:44:00.004+10:00

I know I have been slack with posting but I am in chaos at the moment with most of my craft stuff packed up as I am working towards converting our garage into a workspace. Hooray!!!! I can't wait to have a large area to work in. It is very exciting!!

Here is a card I made recently and used as a make and take at workshops. I have used the Berry Bliss DSP, Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranate and Bashful Blue cardstock and the new Boho Blossoms Punch and One of a Kind stamp set that is featured in the new Spring Mini catalogue. I love this set as it co-ordinates so beautifully.

Round Tab Punch

2008-07-16T16:51:00.003+10:00

I am so glad school holidays are over!!!!! I think my eldest is happy too - he couldn't wait to get back to school and tell his friends about his holidays. His highlight this holidays was going to Toowoomba. It is nice when they can be easily amused.

I have been experimenting with my punches lately and decided to play around with the Round Tab Punch. I used it to make the large circle on the front of the card and I also used the scallop punch, 1 1/4" and 3/4" circle punches. To achieve the large circle with the Round Tab punch just punch the card and then turn the card 90 degrees and line up the edges and punch again and voila you have a large circle.

If you have any questions please contact me.

Scratch 'n' Sniff Card

2008-07-01T20:07:00.006+10:00

I started experimenting with scented emboss powder a while ago but wasn't happy with the results as it turned out all bumpy and I thought something was wrong with it but have since discovered that that is the way it is supposed to be because of the jelly crystals.

So I came up with this card using the new In Colours - Purely Pomegranate and Blue Bayou for both card and ink. The stamp set used is Simply Said.

The jelly crystals are strawberry and it is important to use diet jelly crystals as they contain no sugar. I used 50% clear emboss powder and 50% diet crystals. I just love the scent it has.

I'm Back!!!!

2008-06-23T14:29:00.002+10:00

Hello, I just received my computer back about 30 minutes ago and I am so very excited!!!! It has been nearly 2 whole months without a computer and in this day and age that feels like a lifetime.

As soon as I get everything organised I will post some pictures of my latest creations. I must say without a computer I have been very busy making cards so I guess something good came out of it!!!

Computer problems

2008-05-30T13:35:00.002+10:00

I know I haven't posted in a while and I apologise for this. My computer's motherboard died about a month ago and it is still in for repairs so I don't have anything to upload at the moment. I will post some new creations as soon as I get my computer back.

Card Swaps for Convention

2008-04-18T20:38:00.005+10:00

This one was made using Scribble This set and the Level 3 Hostess Set - Time Well Spent. The ink used is Tempting Turquoise and the card is Very Vanilla, Tempting Turquoise and Bravo Burgundy.

This card was made using Scatter Sunshine Jumbo wheel, Time Well Spent and Heartfelt Thanks sets. The inks used are Elegant Eggplant, Bashful Blue and Basic Black. The card used is Bashful Blue, Pale Plum and Perfect Plum. I used the Tag Punch and white grosgrain ribbon as well.

Convention

2008-04-18T20:31:00.002+10:00

Well I have finally found some time to post something after convention. It was great to meet and talk to other demonstrators and to see so many ideas and the diversity of talent!! I have learnt some great new techniques which I am really looking forward to trying out.
It was also great to finally meet some of the people from our team forum. I feel very lucky to be part of such a great group!!
One of the techniques we learnt was how to watercolour with markers - this is something that I have never been good at so hopefully with the tips from convention and a bit of practice I will be able to post some watercolour work soon.

Ryan's 2nd Birthday

2008-02-23T16:37:00.003+10:00

It is hard to believe that my youngest is turning 2 in a couple of weeks!!! It seems like yesterday that I was bringing him home from the hospital.

We are doing a party in a local park which I always find easier than doing them at home. Far less mess and cleaning up.

This is the invite I made for the party.

I used the Favourite Teddy Bear stamp set (retiring). I love this set!!! It is so cute.

Carte Postale

2008-02-10T23:05:00.000+10:00

I really love the new stamps in the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalogue. This card was made using the Carte Postale stamp set and I used the Stampin' Pastels to give a soft look to the card. If anyone would like more information about the Summer Mini Catalogue or the 2007/2008 Idea Book and Catalogue please feel free to Contact Me .

It's also not too late to take advantage of Sale-a-Bration!! This promotion runs until 29th February 2008.

Peek-a-boo Box

2008-01-24T15:11:00.001+10:00

I did some workshops on the weekend and thought I would post the box that one of the workshops made as their "Make & Take". Everyone seemed really pleased with them and it was really interesting seeing how different they all turned out.

I also did a crayon resist card which I CASED off Kim. Thanks Kim!!! They all loved it.

'Tis the Season

2007-11-23T14:49:00.000+10:00

Since it is getting to that time of year I thought I would show off two of my Christmas card creations that I will be sending out this year. Simple but everyone that sees them seems to like them. The Christmas tree one is a 3D window card.

Online at last!!!

Hello Everyone

Well I did it!! I finally found some small window of time to sit down and actually start a blog. I will start posting some of my cards soon (hopefully!!)
